How to Pray for Iran

26 03 2026

My prayer is that God will cause the Islamic Revolutionary Guards and the Basij murderers to turn on one another. Our attention has been on Jeremiah 49:34-39. I explained Jeremiah’s prophecy in my February 19th post: Trump’s Iran Timeline.

Today please consider the Biblical pattern of God’s intervention in man’s wars. I am applying this to Iran based on Jeremiah announcing in verses 37-38:

“I will bring disaster upon them, My fierce anger,’ says Yehovah; ‘And I will send the sword after them until I have consumed them. I will set My throne in Elam, And will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says Yehovah.”

Yehovah God Himself will bring disaster on the wicked rulers of Elam/Iran. This Divine intervention is seen as a Biblical pattern. Several times in history God has brought victory to His people by causing the enemies to turn and fight each other to the death! Gideon and 300 men defeated a massive Midianite army this way. Secondly, Psalm 83 is a prayer that God would defeat His enemies just as He did with Gideon. Third, King Saul’s son Jonathan and his armor-bearer attacked a Philistine outpost who killed one another in fear and panic. A fourth example is one of my favorite Bible stories, the time King Jehoshaphat was victorious over three armies without using one weapon! Singers and worshippers were sent in front of the army.

“Now when they began to sing and to praise, Yehovah set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated. For the people of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. And when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another. So when Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked toward the multitude; and there were their dead bodies, fallen on the earth. No one had escaped.” 2 Chronicles 20:22-24

So, since God is going to set His throne in the hearts of Iranians, we should pray that the Biblical pattern will emerge. Pray that the terrorist jihadis will turn on each other. You can be sure that God’s hand is on this war and the outcome is certain. Father, let your will be done in Iran. Let there be peace in the Middle East and Israel according to you Word..

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the salvation of Iran!
